Exiger’s Technology Forecasts Merchandise, Textiles and Luxury Goods Most Vulnerable to Potential Strait of Hormuz Blockade

Jebel Ali Port Central for U.S.- Bound Shipments, Global Transshipping and Persian Gulf Oil

WASHINGTON, Oct. 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Exiger, the market-leading supply chain and third-party risk AI company, today released proprietary research generated by its AI platform 1Exiger that identifies the sectors most vulnerable to a potential blockage in the Strait of Hormuz, which hosts the world’s twelfth busiest port, Jebel Ali. In the midst of continued Houthis attacks on vessels, worsening conflict in the Middle East and the recent U.S. strike on weapons storage facilities in Yemen, there is increasing concern about how a disruption to this trade route could impact the global economy. Exiger analyzed shipments traversing the Strait of Hormuz that use the Jebel Ali port. Key findings include:

Merchandise, textiles and luxury goods most at risk: 58 different industries may be impacted by the closure of, or reduced traffic through, the Strait of Hormuz. This includes various kinds of merchandise, textiles, and luxury goods, with companies in those industries accounting for 29% of shipments leaving Jebel Ali in 2024.Thousands of U.S.-bound shipments could be disrupted: In the last two years, 10% of identified outbound shipments leaving Jebel Ali were destined for Europe or North or South America. Roughly 17,000 of these shipments were headed to the U.S., carrying industrial goods and commodities ranging from turbojet engines to ethyl alcohol.Transportation of Persian Gulf oil could be interrupted: It is well known that the Strait of Hormuz is a vital sea lane for oil produced in the Persian Gulf — a commodity that continues to power much of the global economy.Transshipment delays could impact global companies: Less well known is the importance of the Strait of Hormuz for transshipping (i.e., the transfer of goods between ships). 350,000 shipments over the past two years involved transactions where the shipper and receiver were part of the same corporate family. Approximately 26,000 of these shipments were destined for Europe or North or South America, carrying goods ranging from cars to electric transformers and machinery parts.

The Strait of Hormuz is one of the top strategic shipping straits in the world and the effects of a blockade would be compounded by existing challenges in the Suez Canal, which has seen trade volume drop by 70%+ in the past year. Exiger continues to monitor at-risk supply chains and is working closely with customers to proactively prepare for any potential disruptions.

Dr. Dabber unveils Switch2: The first induction vaporizer to feature a mobile app and dynamic heating modes

LAS VEGAS, Oct. 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Dr. Dabber is pleased to announce Switch2, the long-awaited upgrade to their award-winning Switch induction vaporizer line with 300% more dabbing surface – Just what the Doctor ordered. Switch2 features precise temperature control thanks to a built-in IR sensor and is the first e-Rig ever to use revolutionary Dynamic Heating which can emulate the descending or ascending temperature changes of quartz in a traditional dab rig.

The holy grail of e-rigs has always been meeting the functionality of a traditional torch and bucket or slurper. With Switch2, Dr. Dabber not only meets analog dabbing requirements with induction heating, but also sets a new standard for electronic vaporizers with the abandonment of atomizers and the introduction of inserts made from the purest quartz available or even single crystal sapphire, which experts love for increasing flavor and temperature retention across the board.

To give users even more control of their perfect dab, Dr. Dabber’s Switch2 now allows users to monitor and control their e-rig with a mobile application. This new tech stack will allow Switch2 users to customize every single aspect of their experience to achieve the most accurate dabs. The app can also track consumption at a granular level, and allow users to share their settings with friends. The result is the most accurate and capable electronic vaporizer – ready to be tuned to match any consumer’s preferences.

Switch2 continues Dr. Dabber’s leadership in the induction vaporizer market; its in-house design is intentional and meant to catch the eye and highlight the ongoing normalization of cannabis consumption devices. The combination of omni-directional induction heating and a 360 degree directional carb cap work together to redefine what people think is possible in the world of electronic dabs. The weather forecast says it will be cloudy. With precise temperature controls and modes, a new form factor, and the move from atomizers to inserts with 300% more space, Switch2 by Dr. Dabber is the e-rig that traditional dabbers have been waiting for.

About Dr. Dabber
Dr. Dabber creates cannabis vaporizers for every use case that are convenient and reliable, yet potent and effective. With an emphasis on customer service, the team at Dr. Dabber constantly builds off of customer feedback, which is the driving force in future product development.
